Woody Guthrie wrote constantly and everywhere, and when he matched up some of his lyrics with the melody of some old folk or blues tune, he came up with instant classics like “This Land Is Your Land,” “Pastures of Plenty,” “Pretty Boy Floyd,” “Vigilante Man,” “Grand Coulee Dam,” “Dust Bowl Blues,” and countless others. Guthrie’s influence and compositional method have made him a mentor to artists as impressive as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and the Clash, to name just three. This 50-track, double-disc set features all of these classic songs plus a whole lot more, including Guthrie performances with Cisco Houston, Sonny Terry, and the Almanac Singers, which makes it a good and substantial introduction to a seminal and important American artist. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

James Tormé is the son of jazz singer Mel Tormé, and as such has some huge shoes to fill; perhaps that’s why he put of cutting this debut album till he was 38 years old. He grew up listing to Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Jackson, and had his mind set on a career as a pop and R&B singer until he started performing an a cappella take of Monk’s “‘Round Midnight” to close his shows. The response convinced him to switch gears and start exploring the classic American songbook. Young Tormé sounds a lot like his dad did when he was younger. He the relaxed phrasing that makes his singing seem effortless without skimping on emotion. He’s also a songwriter, and his originals aren’t half bad. “A Better Day Will Come,” which won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest award for Best Jazz Song in 2009, is a breezy, optimistic swinger that sounds like an instant standard. “One or the Other” is a relaxed pop tune with an R&B feel, which has the singer trying to choose between two lovers, a guy who wants to have his Kate and Edith too. His vocal strikes a perfect balance between sincerity and smug self-confidence. The rest of the album consists of covers of classic tunes sung with the same laid-back confidence his dad employed. He sings the mournful introductory verses to “Autumn Leaves” in the original French, then changes up and finishes with a driving, jazzy version that includes a snappy scat interlude. He tackles his dad’s early hit “Comin’ Home Baby” and it stacks up favorably to Mel’s with its smooth, confident delivery. The only misstep is his cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” which gets an easy listening arrangement that’s more Steely Dan than Memphis soul. ~ j. poet, Rovi Performers: David Paich – Wurlitzer, Keyboards; Alexandra Isley – Vocals (Background); Christine Gordon – Vocals (Background); Jessica Joi Lewis – Vocals (Background); John Daversa – Vocals (Background), Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Laura Mace – Vocals (Background); Liela Avila – Vocals (Background); Tricia Battani – Vocals (Background); Brandon Coleman – Piano; Brian Green – Guitar; Gene Coye – Drums;

“Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?” —Janis Joplin A journalist’s intrepid endeavor to sell his used car abroad results in a high-spirited and revealing look at West Africa. “Look, there’s my car,” I say, pointing at my Mercedes in the parking lot. “Where?” a fellow desert traveler asks. “There, that Mercedes,” I say. He looks at me, questioning. “You want to drive that through the Sahara?”   Jeroen van Bergeijk came up with what seemed like a great scheme for making a quick profit: buy a clunker of a car in his native Amsterdam and resell it in the Third World, where a market even for jalopies still thrives. His chariot of choice is a rusted-out 1988 Mercedes 190D with 220,000 kilometers on its odometer; his route will take him from Holland through Morocco, across the Sahara, and into some of the least trodden parts of Africa. My Mercedes Is Not for Sale is a rollicking tale of an innocent abroad. The author finds himself facing a driving challenge akin to the Dakar Rally but encounters obstacles never dreamed of by race-car drivers: active minefields, occasional banditry—mostly by the border guards—and a teenage, chain-smoking desert guide with a fondness for Tupac lyrics. Food and water are scarce, sandstorms are frequent, and all he has to patch up his many car breakdowns thousands of miles from civilization is a bar of soap, some duct tape, and a pair of women’s nylons. Then there’s the coup he survived. My Mercedes Is Not for Sale captures more than the adventure—it vividly portrays the impact of globalization on Africa through a surprise-filled journey into its thriving car culture, while asking the question: is the white man’s burden really a used car?
the appeal of my property is it is 2 acres of woods, & lots of wildlife, why are a lot trees dying?
I like the country feel and privacy of lots of woods, my property is 30 years old, and what attracted me to this property is all of the trees and wildlife, I purchased this property 3 years ago, now a lot of my trees are falling over, and lessen! what do I need to do to preserve the remainder of the trees and wooded area?
Beau is right. You would definitely need an arborist to look at your whole picture.
Was there construction with vehicles driving within the root zone of the trees? That will compact the soil and make it impossible for the roots to get nutrients.
Are they all one kind of tree? That’s a bad eco-system because when one gets sick, they all get sick.
Did you build your house new, and if so, did it change the runoff pattern, allowing more water to run from your roof and driveway into the woodlot? Maybe it’s wetter in there than it used to be.
Did someone sneak in and dump a barrel of chemicals? A tree person would be able to tell you.

This book provides a complete overview of timeshare development and operation models. The authors take a comprehensive look at the present and future of this growing segment of the hospitality industry, including specialized approaches to marketing, human resources, service quality, finance, legal considerations and professional ethics. Timeshare, or vacation ownership, is a relatively recent leisure phenomenon. It emerged in the late 1950s as a way to secure extra capital resources to fund property expansion. Shareholders had the right to use these properties on a regular basis. Although arrangements have grown in complexity and variation, the model allows for customers to buy rights to use a property for a fixed time period each year. Timeshare arrangements have experienced rapid international growth particularly in the last fifteen to twenty years and are now an important vacation arrangement. Most of the world’s major hotel and resort developers now operate timeshare properties. Firms like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Disney and Ramada have brought a new formality and legitimacy to timeshare development and operation. * Covers the fastest growing area in the hospitality industry * Takes operational approach the entire timeshare product, not just marketing & sales * Clarifies the mystery of the timeshare product, cuts through preconceptions
